In the next two days, Shuozhou City presented a strange scene of "decline".
The number of defenders on the city walls decreased visibly, the flags became sparse, and even the patrol intervals became longer.
Occasionally, sporadic arrows were shot out, but they seemed weak.
At night, the Tartar scouts could even get close to the moat and hear faint quarrels and wailing coming from inside the city.
Naturally, these signs were reported to the Uriankhai camp without any omission.
His condition has indeed improved a lot. Although he is still a little weak, he is able to manage his affairs.
Listening to the reports from his generals and looking at the "dying" state of Shuozhou City, a hideous smile finally appeared on his pale face.
"It seems that we can't count on that coward, Prince Jin! Shuozhou has finally given up! What a bullshit heavenly thunder! It seems that it can only hit a few times!"
He struggled to sit up, "Send the order! At dawn tomorrow, the entire army will launch a general attack! This time, no matter the cost, you must razed Shuozhou for me!"
"The first person to reach the top of the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and appointed as the commander of ten thousand cavalry!"
He didn't want to wait any longer. The King of Jin's army was outside and was a serious threat. He had to take Shuozhou as soon as possible and obtain the weapon in order to deal with subsequent changes.
The same information was also presented to Xiao Lie, the trusted general of Prince Jin.
It was news about "Han Zhong being seriously injured", "internal strife in Shuozhou", and "wanting to surrender to Di".
He wanted to find Xiao Cheyun to confirm whether it was true, but Xiao Cheyun was under close surveillance in the city and didn't even know that Zhao Muyun had returned.
Not to mention sending someone to pass the message out of the city, through the Tatars' siege, and deliver it to Xiao Lie.
"General! We think the time has come!"
However, Xiao Lie's generals all requested to fight, "If the Tartars break into the city first and get their hands on that weapon, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"We must attack immediately. Even if we can't succeed completely, we must seize part of the city wall and rescue the 'righteous men' inside!"
Xiao Lie's eyes flickered, greed ultimately overwhelmed caution.
He clapped his hands suddenly and said, "Great! If the Tartars attack the city tomorrow, my army will attack immediately!"
"Order the entire army to prepare. If the Tartars and the Shuozhou defenders become stalemated, immediately launch a fierce flank attack on the Tartar camp!"
"The central army will then advance, while the rear army will defend Shuozhou... uh, support General Xiao Cheyun!"
After all, he was still cautious and planned to let the Tartars and the Shuozhou defenders consume their strength first, and then take the opportunity to seize the fruits of victory.
…
Day 3, dawn.
Before dawn, the low and suppressed sound of the ox horn echoed across the Shuozhou plains like the sigh of death.
Wuliangha put on his armor and went into battle to personally supervise the battle!
Tens of thousands of Tatars, like a black tide surging from hell, pushed all kinds of siege equipment and launched an unprecedented fierce attack on the Shuozhou City, which seemed to be still asleep!
The catapult roared again, and huge stones hit the city wall with a teeth-grinding sound.
This time, the counterattack from the city wall seemed extremely weak, and the arrows were sparse.
The morale of the Tatars was greatly boosted. They rushed through the trenches full of traps with howls, and countless ladders were set up on the walls of Shuozhou again.
"Kill!" The brave Di soldiers began to climb!
On the top of the city wall, the defenders seemed to have really reached their limit. Their resistance was weak, and there were even some signs of small-scale retreat.
Wuliangha was watching from a distant watchtower, with a sinister grin of victory on his face.
However, just when most of the Tatars' attention was drawn to the foot of the city wall, the rear was relatively empty.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening sound of war drums suddenly rang out from the direction of King Jin's army.
The front army of King Jin, which had been prepared for a long time, rushed out of the camp like wolves and tigers. Instead of directly attacking the rear of the Tatars who were attacking the city, they cunningly drew an arc and rushed straight to the Tatar central army camp.
"Report! King! Our camp is under attack!" The scout rushed over like crazy to report the news.
The smile on Wuliangha's face froze instantly, and then turned into a raging rage: "Yin dog! How dare you do this!"
He immediately divided his troops: "Left wing, commander of ten thousand cavalry! Lead your troops to hold off the enemy. The right wing continues to attack the city! Quick, the first one to reach the city will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"
There was a hint of confusion among the Tartar troops attacking the city.
......
On the top of Shuozhou City, Zhao Muyun, who had been staring at the movements of the Tartars, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes!
"Now, Old Tang, go!"
Tang Yanhai and one hundred soldiers from the Shenji Camp, who had been lurking behind the city wall, suddenly appeared and threw all the thunder bombs they had prepared long ago with all their might towards the densest area of the Tatars under the city wall.
Rumble!
This explosion was far more concentrated and violent than the previous one.
The continuous loud noises seemed to tear the entire earth apart.
Flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and broken limbs and weapons flew everywhere!
The Tatars, who were adjusting their formation to deal with the Jin Wang army, also suffered a devastating blow on their flanks and rear. Men and horses were thrown to the ground, and their organization was instantly disrupted.
Panic and chaos spread rapidly like a plague!
No matter how the officers tried to suppress the rebellion, the soldiers only heard continuous thunder and saw their companions being blown to pieces. They completely lost their will to fight and retreated madly.
The Wuliangha brought an army of 100,000 southwards and captured Zhendi Fort, Jingbianjun, and Wuzhou City, losing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
A number of troops had to be left behind to garrison these places to ensure the smooth flow of logistics routes, and another 10,000 troops were allocated.
The siege of Shuozhou lasted for more than ten days, with thousands of casualties every day.
Now they have to disperse 80,000 troops into four gates, and also send a part of them to confront the Jin prince's army.
The Tartars deployed only 10,000 to 20,000 troops at one gate of Shuozhou.
Moreover, the damage and psychological impact caused by this thunder is immeasurable.
